WINDSOR, ONT. The 39th Annual Easter Seals Telethon is returning with a “new, modern look” to help raise funds for kids in the community with physical disabilities. The event will air on CTV Windsor on Saturday, April 3 and Saturday, April 10 from 3 to 6 p.m. It will take place during feature presentations of Ghostbusters 2 and Disney’s Tomorrowland. “Last year’s event was moved to the fall due to the pandemic. However, the extra few months provided us with the opportunity to overhaul the Telethon format with a new, modern look,” says Ram Sridhar, telethon committee chair. “The modernized format allowed us to reach a new audience while maintaining some of the traditional Telethon elements, and most importantly, raise over $107,900 for kids with physical disabilities in the community.”

WINDSOR, ONT. The Toldo Foundation is generously donating $30,000 to help vulnerable children in the community. The money is going towards the Drouillard Place After School Program for youth ages 5-12. “This funding will allow Drouillard Place to continue providing a safe, fun and non-judgmental environment to children of our community,” said a news release. “The main focus of this program is to help with homework and literacy, as we believe the key to ending poverty is through education.” The Toldo Family and their Foundation provides support for numerous groups and agencies in Windsor-Essex. “Their giving brings about positive change and has tremendous impact on our most vulnerable population,” said Drouillard Place officials. “It is much needed and appreciated support as we face the challenges of a global pandemic.”
